Has anyone had to replace their hydraulic lift support in the trunk? Where did you get it?

Have an RS but have seen where some have gone to the autoparts, online, cheapcycleparts.com. Etc. Some added a second when a rack was added for the extra weight. Also for the seats on the RT when heavier seat is put on...:thumbup:

Manufactured in Grand Rapids, MI. Get the model number off of it, and you can order directly from them. You can also get more powerful or longer struts.

You cannot buy that shock at Autozone etc, The ends have unique fittings and it a very odd length.

You can get it from Can-Am or other places that carry Spyder parts like gearhead or cheap cycle parts.
It's expensive!

You can also get it directly from the manufacturer (which is not BRP) but they want more money than BRP wants.
